AUTOSPORT gets a Formula Ford wake-up call

AUTOSPORT's resident racer BEN ANDERSON has decided to make the switch from Formula Vee to Formula Ford. He's aiming to improve as a driver, but got more than he bargained for at the Brands Hatch Festival and Silverstone's Walter Hayes Trophy

Competing in my first Formula Ford Festival was a humbling experience.

It was an absolute coup for organisers to return the Festival to its Kent-engined roots (giving the 1950s-developed engine top billing for the first time since 1992) and many said it was the most competitive edition in years.
